What do the /etc/default/nut files look like on both systems?
Yah, hello! I think you've found it. START_UPSD and START_UPSMON are both
set to "no" on the faulty machine. For the life of me I cannot remember
ever editing this file on the working machine, though, so unless my memory
is just totally shot (a distinct possibility!), how is it the faulty machine
has these set to "no", and why would the distro do that in the first place?
I have no idea about the debian policy, but in fedora the default for
all but "very mandatory" services is to install them in the "do not
start by default" mode. Thus an admin MUST verify the config [, tune as
needed if needed] and modify the service to turn it on by default.
Speaking about nut, since an admin must select at least the driver and
connection mode to be used, the approach of not starting by default
looks valid to me.
